Actor/actress who should play Skip Beat!(6 posts, 4299 views) Posted: 1814d 10h, 21m ago by shojojunkie in Skip Beat
Skip beat is already out in live action! I am surprised to actually like the first episode, which was more or less faithful to the first part of the manga when kyoko and sho were living together, and of course, kyoko's breakdown when she realized Sho's tr ...

Is the end near?(18 posts, 7158 views) Posted: 2036d 19h, 47m ago by shojojunkie in Skip Beat
I'm still hoping for a Sho x Kyoko reunion in any form, whether in their professional lives or as potential lovers/special friends.

I don't complain that Sho doesn't appear as often, because when he does, he really shakes Kyoko up.

Thoughts on Sakura Gari Ending(20 posts, 7166 views) Posted: 2279d 22h, 41m ago by shojojunkie in Sakura Gari
In my mind the ending was far off... like they're very old, wealthy men who are well regarded in society.

They are "secretly gay" hence they play golf often for 40 years so they'd have the excuse to go off in the woods together. Souma, in ...

Scanlations also help the fan base spread. I doubt they would sell anything if it were not for these scanlators (which are still around just hard to find). They are going to see a deep drop in their profit and hopefully it will make them realize the benefit of free sca ...

Worst yaoi cliche(131 posts, 37067 views) Posted: 2333d 22h, 23m ago by shojojunkie in Yaoi/Yuri
1. seme being indifferent during sex. 2. stranger-zoom-to-lover with confessions of love right after meeting each other. 3. "I'm totally straight, I'm just gay for you, I don't think of sex with other men (except you)." ...

Manga that Scarred you for Life(400 posts, 86979 views) Posted: 2368d 9h, 17m ago by shojojunkie in Manga General
I hate to admit it but all Vampire manga scare me. It's a strange fascination. As for a specific manga, maybe Vampire Knight, shojo but it really made me think "what if" yeek ...

i got to correct something here.. the character of Kami nomi zo Shiru Sekai aka TWGOK, keima, does not have a poor social skill. if he does, then he wouldn't be able to finished all his "job"... he have the greatest social skill... w ...

Best Josei(155 posts, 66710 views) Posted: 2372d 8h, 31m ago by shojojunkie in Shoujo/JoseiA Delicious Relationship has now become my ultimate favorite josei. It drags in the beginning then it heats up like a delicious beef consomme. ...

Guys that read shoujo(163 posts, 26520 views) Posted: 2372d 19h, 17m ago by shojojunkie in Shoujo/Josei
My hubby pointed out a good shojo manga to me and i got hooked. He reads shojo because the girls always seem to be a lot more realistic looking (less overemphasized tits, I know). It also gives him an idea what 'romantic sex' really means, how it s ...

Agreed! BHOH was my first and last Hwang Mi Ri series. But the thing with the HMR author is that they come up with the most inte ...

Genius With Poor Social Skills(20 posts, 3383 views) Posted: 2373d 20h, 11m ago by shojojunkie in I'm Looking For...TWOGK popped up when I read the title of this thread. The guy's a genius and a misfit with poor social skills in the real world. Although someone like me, who likes weird guys, would probably call him "normal".

Particularly because I can relate to the way haruto was in complete DENIAL about the possibility of Eba having a boyfriend. She was completely lovey-dovey with him and she did spend 24/7 with him in their hom ...

Do you believe in falling in love online?(41 posts, 4277 views) Posted: 2406d 2h, 57m ago by shojojunkie in Chatter Box
Yes, I believe in falling in love online. The internet is just another venue to find someone special. Like what happens in the real world, being made a fool of or finding real compatibility can still happen.

It's like a long distance relationship in reverse (you meet the ...

Kawaii Maria's personality according to MBIT(3 posts, 4037 views) Posted: 2406d 19h, 36m ago by shojojunkie in Akuma To Love Song
A very rare heroine. I can't wait to see how she would react to certain situations. Can this type of uncliched heroine survive in a cliched shojo world? :-D ...

Blog?(21 posts, 1560 views) Posted: 2410d 11h, 53m ago by shojojunkie in Chatter Box
If you're bursting with opinions like me, blogging is a great option.

I set up blogs on different topics, but I have never used a blogging platform like livejournal etc. I would rather buy my own domain and set up my own server. Why bother? So that I can keep my ...

Art in Shoujo Manga(26 posts, 5539 views) Posted: 2412d 22h, 3m ago by shojojunkie in Shoujo/Josei
Definition of good art for me means showing the emotion of "crying/lonely but trying to smile anyway" in the most perfect way possible.

With this criterion in mind, I have to say these mangaka take the cake....
